📏 Form Guide
Larne
WWDWLW
Larne, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 0-2 Premiership victory vs Cliftonville.
The only name on the scoresheet from Larne was Andy Ryan (60'). Luke Kenny (5' Own goal) was the scorer for Cliftonville.
Their latest results really do illustrate the point that it has been a great time for the Larne rearguard. Larne have been stingy, seeing the total number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their past 6 clashes standing at 4.
Crusaders
DWWWDW 📈
Crusaders head into the encounter following on from a 0-1 Premiership win to beat Newry City in their previous fixture.
The only player to score from Crusaders was Ben Kennedy (75').
In their previous six outings, Crusaders have bagged the sum of 11 goals. Crusaders have also managed to score on each one of those occasions. In that time, they have had 5 goals scored by their opponents. Such a trend isn’t assured to follow through here, of course.
👥 Head to head
Delving into their past head to head meetings stretching back to 04/11/2022 tells us that these encounters have not been kind to Crusaders. They have not been able to get themselves any victories at all while Larne have been too good for them, beating them in 67% of those match-ups.
A total of 14 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 12 from Larne and 2 belonging to The Hatchetmen. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.
The previous league match between the two was Premiership match day 25 on 12/01/2024 and the score finished Crusaders 0-2 Larne.
The match was refereed by Steven Gregg.
🗞️ Team News: Larne
Shaun Want (Muscle tear), Ali Omar (surgery) and Levi Ives (Knee injury) will not be able to play for Larne gaffer Tiernan Lynch.
📋 Team News: Crusaders
Crusaders manager Stephen Baxter has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Josh Robinson (Cruciate ligament injury), Paul Heatley (Hamstring injury) and Jimmy Callacher (Cruciate ligament tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
🧠 Prediction
We envisage that Larne should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
However, Crusaders will not find it easy to get a goal of their own but do we see them converting at least once here.
We’re therefore anticipating a 3-1 win for Larne after 90 minutes.
